Statement

Cullivan's work evolves from a contemplation of transformation, whether this be physical, emotive or cerebral developments within the self or social, environmental or cultural changes in the external. Within this consideration lies a reflection on time. Through observation and documentation, the work bears witness to the cyclical processes of transformation and acclimatization. The work often attempts a sense of personal or social narrative. Processes engage a variety of media including photography, drawing, video, printmaking and audio, often involving public participation.
